No luck?

@Techspert

It's not as easy as just standing here looks, that's for sure.
*Cups my hands together into a ball and holds them together like I'm actively trying to compress something in them*
Move the scarf again.

Alright, I like those odds.
*Stands in front of you*

@Techspert

*The muscles in my fingers and hand tense up as I muster a more lively collection of sparks without seeming to fully manifest what I'm wanting

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Steps toward you*
What's the cost if you don't?

@Techspert

Worst that could happen is you stay in exactly the shape you’re in now. The nature of this stuff doesn’t know the meaning of “harm”.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Raises an eyebrow*
What's this now?

@Techspert

Call it a home remedy, if I can work it out.
*Stands up, still holding my palm out*
C’mere.

*Takes a deep breath*
Severely.

@Techspert

...
*Rubs my hands together and then stares down at my open palms with immense concentration, crackling pink sparks sputtering to life in the air above them as I try to muster some force together*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I have some tools available to me. Just none that I can use immediately.

@Techspert

Hm. Does it hurt?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

We’ll consider it a last resort. I’m hoping for short-lived peace.

@Techspert

Must be a special kind of enemy. Surely you have some means of self-regeneration for most average wounds? Natural or otherwise.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

We go a long way back. I'm not worried about that threat specifically.

@Techspert

Thank goodness. We’ll keep a pin in the floorboards idea then.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I wouldn't. But if the worst comes, I'd expect minimal help from me personally.

@Techspert

Hopefully, whatever enemies you made won’t see fit to just start attacking random people in places you’d go.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I can't argue. It could have also gone much worse.

@Techspert

We don’t need to find a cubbyhole under the floorboards to hide you in, do we?
